BNP / NT-proBNP

這是什麼

BNP and NT-proBNP are natriuretic peptide blood tests; the heart releases BNP when it works harder than normal to pump blood.^[1]

為什麼重要

These tests are mainly used to help diagnose or rule out heart failure in people who have symptoms.^[1]

它會影響哪些判斷

• BNP context is interpreted with exam, imaging, kidney function, age, symptoms, and clinical course.^[1,2]

解讀陷阱

• BioConst does not classify heart failure or urgency from a BNP result.^[1]
